Nokia 7730 Service Interconnect Routers (SXR)

Nokia has expanded its IP router portfolio with the 7730 Service Interconnect Router (SXR) product family, bringing the company’s typical service router performance, security and sustainability into advanced IP access and aggregation networks. Purpose-built for service providers and network builders delivering mission-critical services, the scale and capabilities of the routers make them suitable for smaller/distributed IP edge locations, addressing the increased capacity and capability demands driven by broadband investments and evolving cloud network architectures.

The systems are powered by Nokia FPcx routing silicon, a line of in-house designed, fully programmable network processors optimised for next-generation IP access, aggregation and edge applications. The family is also enabled by SR Linux, Nokia’s open, resilient and extensible network operating system (NOS) designed to blend the best of the company’s hardened IP routing protocols and services in a cloud-native software architecture designed for automation and extensibility.

The routers are designed to deliver efficiency and flexibility, powered by a combination of next-generation chip architecture and a forward-looking NOS. Secure connectivity is enabled via platform support for MACsec, ANYsec and DDoS mitigation with traffic inspection. Assured IP services are enabled through FPcx’s deterministic performance, advanced QoS capabilities and innovative approach to enabling in-service software upgrades.

Power efficiency and reduced TCO are realised through right-sized capacity and interface speeds, support for more efficient network designs and a system built ground-up for automation at scale in a modern NetOps environment. Flexibility is enabled by FPcx as a fully programmable NPU combined with the cloud-native architecture and extensibility of SR Linux.
